Hey lovelies! It probably comes as no surprise health and wellness means everything to me. I am constantly looking for new ways to improve my health and water is one of those simple wins I come back to time after time. I really do notice a difference when I drink at least 2L of water a day. That can be challenging when you’re traveling or on the do so I make sure to always have a reusable water bottle with me and fill it up as I go. I also drink 1 large glass of water when I wake up (about 500ml) and that is an amazing way to start the day after 8 hours of rest with no water. It definitely helps flush out any toxins and re-hydrate me for a busy day to come. I’m also craeful not to drink water when I’m eating as that is not great for digestion. Instead I wait about 1 hour before and after eating to drink my water. That is a really hard shift to make at first but once you start doing it and becoming aware that drinking water while eating actually inhibits digestions it makes me want to do my best.

My goal is 1L of water before lunch and 1L after. I sometimes even manage 2L after lunch if it’s a particularly hot day or I have been sweating/exercising a lot. One thing I have noticed is that everyone is different and so 2L may be too much or too little water for another person. For me I feel best at 2L but I encourage you to test yourself and see what’s best. I naturally drink more water in the summer than winter too which makes sense.

I highly encourage everyone to drink more water and see how it makes you feel!
